Vikram
Extremely bad . Terrible hotel . Room was unclear with unclear coffee cups and bed was not done . Unclear sheet and just simply fine up without any clean up . So so so bad !! Never stay here !
Verified traveler
cheap, but at what cost
The rooms have moisture problems, paint falling from the walls, very strong sewer smell in the bathroom and the noise on the street is coming all trough in the rooms. The reception tried to help but couldn't do much because all the rooms are compareble.
